I do not exist.

I got a new purse and wallet for Christmas, so naturallly, I transferred everything from the old to the new and threw the old wallet away. Or so I thought. What I just recently realized is that, while I transfered a variety of retarded things (like, say, my 2 year old "Daisy Dollars" card from Delias that only has 2 punches on it), I failed to empty the secret pocket. And, oh isn't it just my luck that said secret pocket contained both my voter registration card and my SOCIAL SECURITY CARD. So basically, I threw my identity away. I do not currently exist.

Of course, upon realizing this, I went into crazy panic mode. I mean, really, wouldn't you? You just threw away the little number that runs the world; things are not looking very good right now. However, a replacement Social Security card is surprisingly easy to obtain. I think it's about the only example of good government. All you have to do is fill out a form, take it to the office and show them "proof of identity," aka. my license. Voila, new card mailed to you in 7-10 days. You need more identity/citizen proof crap to take your driver's test. I was amazed. So since I have no class on Thursday and have the day off of lab because of an Ochem quiz that evening, it looks as though I will be venturing across town to the Social Security office and putting myself back into existance. Oh happy day.

How is that good government? I'd kinda want it to be really hard to get...

Its good b/c there is no unnecessary hassle. Obtaining one in the first place is quite difficult, which is good, but merely replacing a lost one is quite easy, which I rather appreciate.
